Hi Mike,
that's a good result on a very dim pair of galaxies.
I wanted to know more.


It seems that NGC 7125 is 163.4 Mlyrs away
https://in-the-sky.org/data/object.php?id=NGC7125
and NGC 7126 is 134.3 Mlyrs away.
https://in-the-sky.org/data/object.php?id=NGC7126
So we can assume they are not an interacting pair.

This was the only other good picture I could find:

Hubble did take some data but not of the entire NGC 7126
